Lyrics

[Intro] Ahh, ooh (Aaaah, oooh) [Verse 1] We can live underwater It ain't hard When you never been a part Of the country on dry land We used to be smarter We taught 'em what they know And now we got to show 'em What it means to be American (Good life) Good life, liberty Innovation (Innovation) Every child, no matter what color Gettin' an education (An education) Now life in the hood is nothin' but fear 1,000 light years away from here [Chorus] (1,000 light years from here) Oh I'm talkin' about a peaceful resolution 1,000 light years away from herе (1,000 light years from here) Comе on 1,000 light years from here We need a spiritual resolution 1,000 light years from here [Verse 2] You can dream in color (You can dream in color) When you let go of the proverbial "You got to crawl before you walk" Mmm (I told you so, oh) Listen to me now, brother (Listen to me) Like the motion of the stars we are (We are) So you might as well come on Let's go (Let's slide) Hey (Stop talkin') Baby dreamin' about a new world order, ahh But it's just a nightmare if you still got borders, oh Wouldn't you rather have me near? Or 1,000 light years away from here [Chorus] 1,000 light years from here Come on 1,000 light years from here And a peaceful resolution 1,000 light years from here [Bridge] Why would God make heaven so far away? (So far away) A whole world of His children cryin' to Him everyday Maybe it's time we all stop the rain I'm just saying Ahh, ooh [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] If you're sick of cryin' and tired of tears Then close your eyes and open your ears Listen to the music, listen to the song Listen to your heart, is that so wrong? Stop lookin' in the mirror, there's nothin' to fear Your salvation is near 1,000 light years away from here [Chorus] 1,000 light years from here (1,000 light years away from here) It's here if you want to be C'mon,hey So what you need to do, y'all Is start lookin' outside urself Just clap your hands Don't understand But they keep sellin' lies To keep people buyin' You can live forever! Without even tryin' No more dyin' No more Whoo Ooh 1,000 light years from here (1,000 light years away from here) (1,000 light years away from here) (1,000 light years away from here) (1,000 light years away from here) 1,000 light years away from here (1,000 light years away from here) (1,000 light years away from here) (1,000 light years away from here) (1,000 light years away from here) (1,000 light years away from here) (1,000 light years away from here) (So far) (So far away) 1,000 light years away from here (So far away) (Take me there)
